Caspar Sonnen kicked off the IDFA DocLab R&D Summit last month with a wonderful quote from Donna Haraway: “Our task is to make trouble, to stir up potent response to devastating events, as well as to settle troubled waters and rebuild quiet places.” This year has been about opening up post-pandemic but things are far from ‘back to normal’ and I know this has been a hard, weird, surreal, exciting, terrifying, complicated year for many of us. Things are very up and down in our immersive community. We may be (mostly) comfortable working in liminal spaces without clear definitions and reveling in our undisciplined disciplines but we still need funding, support, and strategy and these things are often in short supply. I hope you are all holding up and feeling positive about what comes next. We wish you all a wonderful festive season. See you in 2023!
